Federal Monitoring

The Head Start Act requires periodic federal review of all Head Start programs. Learn about federal monitoring and understand all the necessary requirements to prepare for the federal review of your program’s systems and services. Explore a wide range of information for Head Start programs and monitoring reviewers, including an introduction to monitoring, review protocols, reviewer resources, and reports. Be sure to sign up for and visit the Aligned Monitoring Virtual Expo section, which gives grantees, Regional Office staff, and training and technical assistance (T/TA) staff the necessary knowledge and tools related to federal monitoring.
